To open the glove box on a 2003 Audi TT with a broken lock, you can try gently prying it open using a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool. Insert the screwdriver into the gap between the glove box door and the dashboard, being careful not to damage the surrounding area. Alternatively, you can remove the screws or bolts securing the glove box to the dashboard, which may allow you to access it from the inside.
